One excessive downtime event

caddis_get_equipment_excessive_downtime
Read-onlyIdempotent

Fetch an excessive downtime record for a piece of equipment, including operator-assigned reason, by providing shift history and status log IDs. Returns TOON-encoded data.

Instructions

Fetch a single excessive downtime record (with operator-assigned reason, if any) identified by the shift history + status log pair for a piece of equipment.

Responses are TOON-encoded (toonformat.dev) — a token-efficient JSON dialect mixing YAML-style indentation with CSV-style tables. Example:

name: Caddis Co timezone: America/Denver equipment[3]{id,name,tags,current_status.status,current_status.reason_id}: 1,Mill A,"["cnc","critical"]",running,null 2,"Press, Big",null,down,3 3,Lathe C,null,null,null

  • Object fields: key: value; nested objects indent their children.

  • Uniform arrays of objects: field[N]{cols}: followed by N indented comma-separated rows in column order.

  • Nested objects inside table rows are recursively flattened to dotted columns (e.g. current_status.status, input_setup.cycle.logic); a null parent yields null across all its dotted columns (see row 3 above).

  • Primitive arrays at object level: field[N]: a,b,c inline.

  • Arrays inside table cells are JSON-stringified into a single cell value (JSON.parse() to recover); empty arrays render as null (see rows 1–3 tags column).

  • Strings with commas/colons/quotes/leading whitespace are double-quoted (escapes: \\, \"); other strings, numbers, booleans, and null are bare.

Behavior4/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations already indicate read-only, idempotent, open world. The description adds important behavioral context by thoroughly explaining the TOON encoding format of the response, which is critical for interpreting results. It also mentions that records include operator-assigned reason if available.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is front-loaded with the purpose, then provides a detailed but necessary explanation of the TOON response format. While lengthy, the content is not wasted; it is essential for understanding the response. However, it could be slightly more concise in the format explanation section.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Despite the lack of an output schema, the description thoroughly explains the response format with examples, making the response comprehensible. It covers the purpose and identification of records. It does not address error scenarios but is otherwise complete for a single-record fetch tool with safe annotations.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

The input schema already provides descriptions for all three parameters, and the tool description does not add any new semantic information about the parameters beyond what is in the schema. The description implicitly explains that the parameters together identify the record, but this is clear from the parameter names and schema.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states it fetches a single excessive downtime record identified by shift history and status log pair for equipment. This is specific and distinct from the sibling list tool.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description does not explicitly guide when to use this tool versus the list tool or other get tools. It is implied that one should use this when they have the specific IDs, but no when-not or alternative guidance is provided.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
